"You said you want to choose this Huaxia person?" In the Lakers' president's office, general manager Kupchak is telling Jim Buss, the current president of the Lakers, about Li Hao.

"Yes, Mike, Kobe Bryant thinks this young man is good, this is the report of the tryout, I have sent you the video," Kupchak said.

"But Mitch, we only have one draft pick at the moment, and that pick must be the lotto area" The lottery is very valuable, and this year is still a draft year, and there are a lot of talented young players.

The Buss family is different from the owners of other teams, and other owner teams are just one of their assets, but the entire asset of the Buss family is the Lakers.

The Chinese market is very attractive, which is why the Lakers will choose Sun Yue in 07, but Sun Yue did not bring the Lakers what they wanted, and this experience is still vivid.

Speaking of Kobe, Kobe Bryant once recruited Yao Ming, Kobe Bryant did this for competitive reasons, but if you look at it from the perspective of the Bass family, then Yao Ming is more of a commercial value, of course, Yao Ming's competitive value is also very high, Yao Ming at that time can almost be said to be the first center in the league, but unfortunately, it didn't work out in the end.

"I know, so I'm hoping you can buy a pick, or wait and see how many we can draw, if it's not the top three, I think we can trade down" Using a lottery pick to pick Li Hao is a bit of a waste no matter how you look at it.

"How many picks do you think we can take him," Jim Bass asked.

"If Lee hadn't gone to another team for a tryout, Mike really hadn't told another team about Lee's situation, and we could have drafted him again in the second round, but once Lee went to another team, then we would probably need a first-round pick" The Lakers spent two days doing an all-round trial for Li Hao.

"Which teams is this little guy going to try out on now?" After Jim Bass finished reading Li Hao's trial report, he opened the small video on the computer.

"We're on his first team, and I met with his agent again yesterday and told him about it, but his agent told him that the Rockets had sent him a tryout invitation" Kupchak called Holtz after the first day of tryouts, and Holtz reappeared in Holtz's office the next day.

……………………………………………..

"The Lakers want me to turn down tryouts from other teams?" Li Hao learned about this from Holtz on the night he ended the trial.

"Yes, they don't just want you to turn down tryouts from other teams, they want you to withdraw from the next joint tryout," Holtz said.

"By the way, Li, this year's joint trial is a little different from previous years, this year's joint trial has canceled the 5-on-5 actual battle, and it has been replaced by interviews for each team" Holtz also brought Li Hao a new news of the joint trial.

"Interview? What is this operation? "Although the NBA is a commercial league and the players are also workers, playing basketball is still a little different from clocking in to work.

"It's not clear yet, but I'm collecting information on that," Mr. Holtz said.

"Then let's go back to the Lakers" Li Hao is still more interested in the Lakers now.

Being a teammate with Kobe Bryant, Li Hao really thought about it, after all, Li Hao's watching of football started after Yao Ming entered the NBA, and he was more familiar with the group of people who were at the same time as Yao Ming compared to the back.

As far as Li Hao knows, Kobe Bryant has no career left, and the Lakers will enter a rare swing period in the next few years, but this is a good thing for rookies.

"You promised them?" Li Hao looked at Holtz.

"No, this matter is mainly based on your wishes" It has been determined from the first meeting of Holtz that Li Hao is a very assertive person, and when you get along with such a person, you must not try to control it.

"What promises did they give?" In fact, it is common for a team to promise a certain player in the draft.

"It's hard to say the draft pick right now, after all, there is no lottery yet, but the Lakers general manager has promised that if the Lakers can finally pick you, then you will be the team's focus next season" said Kupchak's promise to Holtz.

According to the Lakers' current lineup, it will be very difficult for them to produce results next season, even if Kobe Bryant comes back, after all, Kobe is no longer the Kobe he once was, and a torn Achilles tendon is too fatal for the player.

Playing time, this is very important for Li Hao, Li Hao has a system, but a player's attributes are only one aspect, and game experience is also very important.

What's more, the system will announce the method of promotion in the future after Li Hao decides to participate in the draft, and you can get a little attribute point for every game you win in the NBA in the future, but there is another premise:

In his rookie season, he should play at least 18 minutes per game.

Every time he saw these 18 minutes, Li Hao couldn't help but wonder if the system was stipulating this time because he played 18 minutes in college.

Badges can be lit for every 20 games won (one each for finishing, shooting, playmaking, and defense).

The NBA has 82 regular-season games in a season, and a badge has four divisions, so it's nearly impossible to point a badge in a season.

It is precisely because of the upgrade conditions announced by the system that this key training proposed by the Lakers has become the biggest attraction.

Since it is a key training, the playing time must be guaranteed, as long as Li Hao does not stretch his hips too much on the court, the Lakers will definitely not give up on him easily.

Seriously, he was moved, for Li Hao at present, it is to level up, join an NBA team, and get at least 18 minutes of playing time.

Joining an NBA team is actually not difficult for Li Hao, as long as Holtz gives him the opportunity to arrange a trial, and there is a joint trial later, it is really rare to have 18 minutes of playing time.

In the NBA, if it's not the rookies that the team focuses on, it's either going to the water cooler as a caretaker or getting a little playing time in garbage time.

"I'm a little excited about this key training object," Li Hao said.

"It's true that playing time is very important for rookies," Holtz nodded.

"I can talk to the Lakers, I hope I can get more guarantees" After thinking about it for a while, Li Hao felt that the Lakers seemed to be really suitable for him.

"Where are the rockets going?" Holtz has also said that the rocket sent Li Hao for a trial.

"Don't go" Li Hao is no stranger to rockets, but because of this, Li Hao doesn't want to go to rockets, not to mention other reasons, the current general manager is still a day, and Li Hao can't go to rockets.

"Lee, I have to remind you that verbal promises are not binding, and there have been many cases in the history of the NBA that have broken promises," Holtz reminded.

"I know, you talk to the Lakers first, as long as you have enough sincerity, I don't mind betting on the Lakers" Li Hao, who has a system, can afford to gamble.
